"You expect good things from the New Year, you expect hope, but the New Year also has something to tell you: You create both the good things and the hope yourself, so don't expect anything, do it yourself, create it yourself, don't wait!

A lot believe prospecting/fossicking is all about luck. IMO we create our own luck too.
Happy New Year to all & all the best for 2024.

These readings coincide with the 100-year anniversary of the record-breaking heatwave that gave Marble Bar its reputation during the summer of 1923-24, when it recorded the longest run of days above 37.8C (100 degrees Farenheit).
